Midi-length skirts

Why would any woman want to make her legs look shorter? Altuzarra’s midi-length skirt has a hemline that hits the widest part of the calf, which makes your ankles appear thicker and your legs stumpier. Unless you’ve hit the genetic lottery and are more than 6 feet tall and lean, you can’t pull this off.

Overalls

Oh my OshKosh B’gosh! I know TLC, Alex Mack and the Olsen twins looked totally cute in this ’90s staple, but overalls (even updated ones as seen at Adam Selman, Frame Denim, and 3.1 Phillip Lim) should remain in the domain of toddlers, tweens and people who work with their hands. Old MacDonald had a farm, after all. You probably do not.

High necklines

The tightly wrapped neckwear may have choked up models, but it failed to move us this week. Top models appeared desperate for oxygen at the Alexander Wang show on Saturday night. We’re all for layers and warmth, but designers’ new swaddling stance on neckwear is a trend we doubt will catch on.

Puffy sleeves

Attention Ruffian: If the pirate look didn’t work for Seinfeld, it’s certainly not going to work for anyone else, point blank.

Infantile fashion

What’s the target demographic for doll clothing? Dolls? According to Katie Hillier and Luella Bartley, newly appointed designers at Marc by Marc Jacobs, it’s grown women. Sure, fashion is a youth-driven industry, but some clothing should not be worn if you’re older than 9.

Prom dresses

Designers like Oscar de la Renta, Zac Posen and Dennis Basso boast fanciful ideals of how ladies should dress . . . that often loose touch with reality. Name the occasion for which a modern woman requires a big, puffy princess dress, and we’ll crown you the queen of Genovia.
